Ashlee Simpson's Infamous SNL Lip-Sync Incident: A Look Back at the 2006 Controversy
In 2006, pop singer Ashlee Simpson faced a highly publicized incident during her performance on NBC's Saturday Night Live. While preparing to perform her second song, "Boyfriend," a pre-recorded vocal track for her earlier song, "Autobiography," began playing prematurely. This unexpected technical glitch revealed that Simpson was lip-syncing, a practice generally frowned upon in live performances. Eyewitnesses and broadcast viewers observed Simpson reacting with an impromptu, awkward dance before ultimately walking off the stage. The incident quickly became a major talking point in entertainment news, leading to significant public discussion and criticism. Simpson later issued an apology, attributing the lip-syncing to acid reflux preventing her from singing live. The event remains a memorable moment in pop culture history.
